The Republic of Beauty In Purple is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, disturbing lack of elderly people, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.231 billion Beauty In Purpleans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 38.3%.
The all-consuming Beauty In Purplean economy, worth 107 trillion deniers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,197 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
War criminals are given full state funerals, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, government-sponsored gallows are being erected by Violetist temples, and Beauty In Purple Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beauty In Purple's national animal is the elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Beauty In Purple is ranked 124,737th in the world and 1,801st in Artificial Solar System for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 3.07 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
